It’s 11.30a.m. and already it’s thirty-three degrees celsius. At the bottom of a drained swimming pool, four ridiculous men face their inevitable deaths, and play for an unwinnable love. Enda Walsh‘s play is a tragicomic take on the classic Greek myth.

Penelope, by Enda Walsh is part of Play It by Ear, a programme of shows for The Everyman stage and available on live audio broadcast.
